UserformThis lab teaches you how to create an Excel VBA Userform (also known as a dialog box). Userform ExampleThe Userform we are going to create looks as follows.ControlsThe most important Controls that can be added to an Excel VBA Userform are:Labels Examples of labels in our Userform are: 'Name:' , 'Phone Number:' , 'City Preference:' , 'Dinner Preference:' , etc.Textboxes The three boxes next to the Labels 'Name:' , 'Phone Number:' and 'Maximum to spend:' are textboxes.Listboxes The box next to the Label 'City Preference:' is a boboxes The dropdown-list next to the Label 'Dinner Preference:' is a combobox.Note: a combobox is the same as a listbox except that the user can now also fill in his/her own choice if his/her choice is not included in the list.Checkboxes and Option buttons 'June 13th', 'June 20th' and 'June 27th' are examples of Checkboxes. 'Yes' and 'No' are examples of option buttons. Note: Checkboxes and option buttons are primarily the same except that option buttons are dependent on each other while checkboxes are not. This means that when you want to check one option button the other option button will automatically uncheck.Frames The field with name 'Car' including the two option buttons is a Frame control. Note: in order for option buttons to have the dependent functionality described earlier it is best to place the option buttons in a Frame mand buttons The three command buttons at the bottom of the Userform are examples of command buttons.Spin buttons The spin button is placed next to the textbox at the bottom of the Userform.Create the UserformNow it is time to create the Userform!1. Launch the Visual Basic Editor.2. Click on ThisWorkbook from the Project Explorer. If the Project Explorer is not visible, click on View and then Project Explorer.3. From the Menu click on Insert and then Userform. Your screen should be set up as below:4. If the Toolbox does not appear automatically, click on View and then Toolbox.5. Add all the controls. Once this has been completed, the result should be consistent with the picture of the Userform shown earlier. For example, create a Label by clicking on Label from the Toolbox. Next, you can drag a Label on the Userform. When you arrive at the CarFrame, remember to draw this Frame first before you place the two option buttons in it.6. Change the names and the captions of the controls. Right mouse click on each control. Then click on Properties. Names are used in the Excel VBA code. Captions are those that appear on your screen. Change the names and captions of the controls according to the table below.ControlName (in VBA)CaptionUserformDinnerPlannerUserFormDinner PlannerTextboxNameTextBoxN/ATextboxPhoneTextBoxN/AListboxCityListBoxN/AComboboxDinnerComboBoxN/ACheckboxDateCheckBox1June 13th?DateCheckBox2June 20th?DateCheckBox3June 27thFrameCarFrameCarOption buttonCarOptionButton1Yes?CarOptionButton2NoTextboxMoneyTextBoxN/ASpin buttonMoneySpinButtonN/ACommand buttonOKButtonOKCommand buttonCancelButtonCancelCommand buttonClearButtonClear Form9 LabelsNo need to changeSee PictureNote: it is good practice to change the names of controls. This will make your code easier to read.Show the UserformTo show the Userform, place a command button on your worksheet and add the following code line:Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()DinnerPlannerUserForm.ShowEnd SubUserForm_InitializeThe Sub UserForm_Initialize runs automatically whenever the Userform is loaded. Thus, when you use the Show method for the Userform, the code will automatically be executed.Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()'Empty NameTextBoxNameTextBox.Value = ""'Empty PhoneTextBoxPhoneTextBox.Value = ""'Empty CityListBoxCityListBox.Clear'Fill CityListBoxWith CityListBox???.AddItem "San Fransisco"???.AddItem "Oakland"???.AddItem "Richmond"End With'Empty DinnerComboBoxDinnerComboBox.Clear'Fill DinnerComboBoxWith DinnerComboBox???.AddItem "Italian"???.AddItem "Chinese"???.AddItem "Frites and Meat"End With'Uncheck DataCheckBoxesDateCheckBox1.Value = FalseDateCheckBox2.Value = FalseDateCheckBox3.Value = False'Set no car as defaultCarOptionButton2.Value = True'Empty MoneyTextBoxMoneyTextBox.Value = ""'Set Focus on NameTextBoxNameTextBox.SetFocusEnd SubResult of the code: Fields are emptied, lists are populated and checkboxes are unchecked. CarOptionButton2 is set as default, assuming that most of the people do not have a car. Finally, the last code line sets the focus on NameTextbox as this is where we want to start when the Userform is loaded. To add this code to the Userform, execute the following steps.1. Launch the Visual Basic Editor.2. Click on View and then Code from the Menu or right click on the Userform and then View Code.3. The code window will appear showing you two drop-down lists. Choose Userform from the left drop-down list. Choose Initialize from the right drop-down list.4. Add the code.Assign a macro to the Cancel buttonTo close the Excel VBA Userform when you click on the Cancel button, execute the following steps.1. Launch the Visual Basic Editor.2. Double click on DinnerPlannerUserForm from the Project Explorer. 3. Double click on the Cancel button.4. Add the following code line:Private Sub CancelButton_Click()Unload MeEnd SubAssign a macro to the Clear buttonTo call the Sub UserForm_Initialize when you click on the Clear button, execute the following steps.1. Launch the Visual Basic Editor.2. Double click on DinnerPlannerUserForm from the Project Explorer. 3. Double click on the Clear button.4. Add the following code line:Private Sub ClearButton_Click()Call UserForm_InitializeEnd SubAssign a macro to the OK button After clicking on the OK button, the information from the Userform will be placed on your worksheet.Private Sub OKButton_Click()Dim emptyRow As Long'Make Sheet1 ActiveSheets(1).Activate'Determine emptyRowemptyRow = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A:A")) + 1'Export Data to worksheetCells(emptyRow, 1).Value = NameTextBox.ValueCells(emptyRow, 2).Value = PhoneTextBox.ValueCells(emptyRow, 3).Value = CityListBox.ValueCells(emptyRow, 4).Value = DinnerComboBox.ValueIf DateCheckBox1.Value = True Then Cells(emptyRow, 5).Value = DateCheckBox1.CaptionIf DateCheckBox2.Value = True Then Cells(emptyRow, 5).Value = Cells(emptyRow, 5).Value & " " & DateCheckBox2.CaptionIf DateCheckBox3.Value = True Then Cells(emptyRow, 5).Value = Cells(emptyRow, 5).Value & " " & DateCheckBox3.CaptionIf CarOptionButton1.Value = True Then??? Cells(emptyRow, 6).Value = "Yes"Else??? Cells(emptyRow, 6).Value = "No"End IfCells(emptyRow, 7).Value = MoneyTextBox.ValueEnd SubExplanation of the code: First, we activate Sheet1. Next, we determine emptyRow. The information from the Userform will be placed in this row. EmptyRow increases every time a record is added. Finally, we take the information from the Userform to the specific columns of emptyRow. Double click on the OK button to add the code just like we did with the Cancel and the Clear button.Assign a macro to the Money Spin ButtonBy using the Money Spin Button the user can indicate how much he/she wants to spend. Execute the following steps to program this:1. Launch the Visual Basic Editor.2. Double click on DinnerPlannerUserForm from the Project Explorer. 3. Double click on the Money Spin Button.4. Add the following code line:Private Sub MoneySpinButton_Change()MoneyTextBox.Text = MoneySpinButton.ValueEnd SubTest the UserformExit the Visual Basic Editor, populate row 1, and test the Userform.Result: ................
